JERUSALEM (Ma'an) -- Thousands on Monday participated in the funeral procession of a Palestinian Bedouin man from the Negev who died Sunday in clashes with Israeli forces during the funeral of another man who was killed by Israeli police, a Ma'an reporter said.

Sami Ibrahim Zayadna, 45, died after inhaling tear gas fired by Israeli police at mourners in the Bedouin city of Rahat.

The procession, led by local Bedouin leaders, began at Zayadna's house and marched to the family's cemetery.

Several other Palestinian leaders, Knesset members, local government leaders, and political party representatives participated in the funeral.

Israeli police clash with Bedouin protesters during the funeral of Sami Ja’ar, who was shot by officers last week during a police operation in the southern city of Rahat.

Israeli police shot and killed 43-year-old Sami Ziadna and wounded a 50-year-old man, along with dozens of others Sunday night during clashes that erupted at a funeral in the southern city of Rahat.

Police fired live bullets, tear gas and sound grenades during the funeral of Sami Ja’ar, who was shot to death in the early hours of Thursday morning during a police operation. The Police Investigations Unit is currently looking into that incident.

Murder, harassment, murder. Israel has this brutal policy against the Palestinians down to a cruel, perverse science.
